I’m a regular guy, I’m about 23 years old, I work at a job with a flexible schedule, the job is more or less acceptable, although sometimes it’s very annoying because of the extra repairs. Lately, I’ve been really wanting to go to festivals with cosplayers and stuff, but time is tight, and because of AI and data centers, there is even less time than there could be. And I never even went on a date, I constantly postponed everything for later, and now it seems to me that everything is lost.
well one. go on a date. you have progressive ecological destruction going on so enjoy as much nature as possible. I would choose outdoor things over indoor if they are in an interesting area. So a concert in a field meh but like going to something at ravinia (its in chicagoland) and getting lawn seats then yeah. have you been to a ren faire? Better yet is there an sca group in your area? try and go to one of their things. Any non for profit cons like dragon con or gen con. Go to any state parks, national parks, zoos, museums, or whatnot you have not gotten to that you can get to. Do any activity you have preference for. For me that would be like martial art classes as I don’t like sports and its kinda cool. travel by bike, walking, and public transit. Bike in particular. If you think civilization will fall then a good bike that you like and are familiar with in good repair and kept up on maintenance will be huge.
